Copyright Policy

Last Modified: February 8, 2024

This is the official Copyright Compliance Policy for the Retail Tenants Together website and related services ("Site"). We take the protection of copyrights — both our own and others' — very seriously, and employ multiple measures to prevent copyright infringement and to promptly address any infringement that might occur.

This Copyright Compliance Policy is part of our Terms of Use Agreement, which is legally binding on all users.

How to Send a Notice of Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner (or an owner's authorized agent) and have a good-faith belief that material on our Site infringes one of your copyrights, you may notify us using the procedure below. Upon receiving a valid notice, we will expeditiously investigate and, if warranted, remove or disable access to the infringing material.

Send your notice to our designated copyright agent:

Designated Copyright Agent
Copyright Agent — Retail Tenants Together
Email

Please send only copyright infringement notices to this address. Unrelated inquiries will not receive a response.

Your notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are covered).
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information sufficient to allow us to locate it on the Site.
  4. Your contact information — address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

⚠ If you knowingly misrepresent that online content is infringing, you may be subject to significant civil penalties — including monetary damages, court costs, and attorneys' fees — as well as criminal prosecution for perjury.

How to Send a Counternotice

If your content was removed in response to a copyright notice and you believe it was removed in error or through misidentification, you may submit a counternotice to our designated agent (contact information above).

Your counternotice must include all of the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the removed material and its location on the Site before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the applicable Federal District Court and will accept service of process from the original notifying party.

Upon receiving a valid counternotice, we reserve the right (but not the obligation) to restore the removed material after forwarding your counternotice to the original complainant and waiting at least 10 business days. If the complainant files suit during those 10 days, the material will not be restored.

⚠ If you knowingly misrepresent that removed content is not infringing, you may face the same civil and criminal penalties described above.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain a strict policy of terminating the accounts of repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is any user for whom we receive two or more valid notices of infringement under this policy.

Users whose accounts are terminated under this policy agree not to establish a new account under any name. Violation of this restriction creates an indemnification obligation to us for any resulting liability.

Sole Statement

This document is the sole and official statement of the Copyright Compliance Policy for this Site. No summary, restatement, or other version — including any machine-generated version — is valid. This policy is effective as of the date noted above.
